Question

two numbers are in ratio of 8:13. if 14 is added to each of the numbers the ratio becomes 2:3. find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

56,91 are the numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

given that two numbers are in the ratio 8:13

let,two numbers are 8x,13x

If 14 is added to each of numbers,then the numbers are 8x+14,13x+14

given that (8x+14):(13x+14)=2:3

By solving this you will get x=7

Then the numbers are 8×7,13×7

So, the numbers are 56,91

Answer 2

Answer:56,91

Step-by-step explanation:

let's imagine,

8x & 13x are the numbers

that means

8x+14:13x+14=2:3

or,3(8x+14)=2(13x+14)

or,24x+42=26x+28

or,26x-24x=42-28

or,2x=14

x=7

8*7=56

13*7=91
